hello,
I am an automotive engineering student at the University of Windsor. I am trying to somehow incorporate the restoration of my 914 into my education somehow. After talking to many of my professors a few of them are suggesting I try and turbo the original 1.8l type-4 came in the car. I have the entire case completely apart, down to the crank, and am at the stage where I'm getting ready to start blueprinting this engine. However, it seems that turbo type-4's are not very common, and I do not seem to understand why. I am ready to take on the challenge, however, I would love some advice (combinations, etc.). I am thinking that I will keep stock crank and rods, and get some JE forged pistons (not sure of size yet). Was also thinking I port the stock heads. However, beyond that, i have planned anything. cheers, Blake |

Any updates? School has been absolutely crazy this past month, I haven't had any time to focus on the car. Will have lots more time to get a good chunk of the restoration done once exams finish, so between mid-April and August, you should start to hear lots from me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif). I got a Job for the summer at a very cool restoration/hot rod shop called "Xcentrick Autosports". Check it out (youtube), I should learn lots from them. Almost finished up soldering the Megasquirt. Took me some time to figure out where you left off. |
